Eureka/Bozjan is the proof that difficulty create bonds.

The magic about MMO is the massive content. We have it in hunts, Bozjan, Eureka...and ???. Alliance raid scratch it a little bit but nowadays you farm it just for the glam or minions. Except for savages/extremes, i barely see myself thinking "what i am doing wrong? how can i improve?" like happens in Warframe almost everywhere.

During the best phase of MMORPGs, you had massive contents everywhere including leveling and pvp (LineAge 2, Perfect World, Cabal and Mu online did it well)


Considering their approach to FFXVI, i don't believe we will see the "next gen MMORPG" coming from CBU3. They like instanced content and cinematographic experience too much.
